The list below is by no means complete, there are many places which sell hellebores these days, we have only listed nurseries that breed and sell hellebores as their primary crop. The nurseries on this list are ones that we know from personal experience, with breeders we feel are doing a great job. We have seen their plants and respect their efforts. In keeping with our belief that honesty is the only policy, we also have heard only positive comments on their business practices.
